Another Day, Another Dollar…

ByTim Nolte
Well another day gone. I didn’t feel like I got as much done today as I wanted, but that always seems to be the case. I didn’t even make it to any breaks today. Nothing too special went on today other than the normal Tuesday/Thursday work. Got an exciting email today. Moe Gifts had it’s first sale today! It was someone in Virginia. Don’t kow how they found the site. The site tracker I installed doesn’t seem to be giving very accurate results. My hope is that some of the link exchange work I did is how they got there. It could have also been from the site review requests I posted on either the ChristianWebHost or OSCommerce forums. Either way hopefully this is just the beginning. I’d really like to see the site take off for them. They really want to get to a point of at least breaking even, and then of course to where there making a profit. As I think about it now I should pickup something there for Becky & Peter’s wedding. I should be able get an idea of what they want by using the online Target registry.

I did a little more work on the blog site. Got some more links up & moved some things around. I think I’m going to stick with WordPress after all. It seems to be robust enough for my needs. I tech savy enough that I don’t need a dummy friendly system. Not to say that WP would be hard for the average person to use. The only problem is the admin organization. It took me a little bit to get orientated to it. I’m very interested to perhaps make some contacts to find out what other more technically challenged people might be using.

Well, I need to get my laundry done so I can head to my parents tomorrow. I tell you my nights seem to fly by. I didn’t get any of my calls made. I’ve got to be the king of the procrastinators. Well until tomorrow…

    Final Day in Sierra Leone And Heading Home

    ByTim Nolte
    Saturday was our last day in Sierra Leone. Ron, Terry, and I started off the day with a short 3 mile group run. It was pretty hot and humid. After showering and breakfast we headed to a market in Freetown. As we we’re on our way we we’re briefly stopped by a small parade or sorts, complete with a marching band. Our driver’s took us to a market that was in a building that had 2 floors packed with vendors. We all did a bit of haggling and purchased some items to bring home to friends and family. We headed back to the hotel after the market to pack up and head to lunch. We had one more meal at the Basha Bakery and ran…

    Friday & Traveling…

    ByTim Nolte
    Well Friday was a typical day. The construction on my new office is taking a little longer than originally hoped. It looks like I should be in by next Wednesday, the server equipment will have to wait until next Friday. I had to take an early lunch break so I could be home while they fixed my internet. It ended up being some problem with the signal coming from the poll. Basically I ended up eating my lunch while I continued working at my desk. I took off early to head to Brainerd for the evening, to say a final goodbye to my brother. He was shipped out at about 1am Saturday. I didn’t stay to actually see him off as I wanted to get…

  • DISC and Colds…

    ByTim Nolte
    Not going to post much today. We had a seminar on DISC profiles today at work. It was good to understand our own personalities and how we should interact with others of different personalities. I didn’t end up going to Fargo, I need to get some rest and didn’t want things to get too late getting home. Although it’s late now, I’m heading to bed soon. I did get together with John & Anders and we watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy it was funny to watch again. It’s on my list of movies to purchase. I think Anders has convinced me to read the books. I got notice that my new digital camera should be here Tuesday. I’m excited to start getting out…

    Being A Developer For Life…Can I Keep It Up?

    ByTim Nolte
    photo credit: LeeroyBy now you’ve probably seen the viral clip of a father getting interrupted by his children while giving a live interview on BBC. Working parents everywhere, especially remote workers, could identify with the humorous embarrassment of the situation. Even those who have had pets interrupt Skype calls know the feeling. You want to… via Hacker News Question: Developers with kids, how do you skill up? — WordPress Tavern I’ve had many discussions with one of my good friends and fellow developers on this very subject. The key is keeping it all in balance and managing the priorities. It is tough sometimes, and I have to realize that I can’t do it all, but I also have to keep in mind that I can accomplish…
